I'm taking the Jetta. It can't be taken as a direct comparison because of the obvious difference in shapes but in the Colorado I do a few miles a gallon better on the backroads. For instance here to ft. smith (interstate@70)is never better than 20/g, even losing 1200ft in elevation, but on a conservative trip out to Harrison (backroad@60)i can get 22/g same elevation. That Jetta did go 598 on 12 gallons before on I-75 on the last trip down, I think she did some drafting though.
Yes I should have taken better notes last time.
